    "I can only say: I'm sorry, America," he wrote. "The central bank continues to spin QE as a tool for helping Main Street. But I've come to recognize the program for what it really is: the greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time."

    It is appropriate on Haloween to think of the Trick or False treat Obama gave the Country in the form of Obamacare. The Trick was in his weasel message "If you like your Health Insurace you can keep it". Turns out that was only true if it didn't change since 2009. Changes in co-pay and other amounts, he knew didn't meet his sneaky Grandfather clause that He, the Democrats, and the press never let us know about. The False treat, was the higher premiums and deducables which have gone through the roof for most people in most states. But the...
  • Obama Responsible for Over 1 Million People Losing their Health Insurance

    Remember President Obama promising "You can keep your Health Insurance"? Well for over 1 million people that is no longer true, they have lost their health insurance directly because of Obamacare. Over half a million in California were told their insurance was going away due to the Not-Affordable Health Care Act. Hundreds of thousand lost theirs in Florida as well. This is repeating over and over in the states. And the Media, wishing to promote Obamacare, is being forced to cover the losses. Why aren't insurance companies continuing the coverage? It is simple, the Obamacare regulations have made it impossible...

    Republicans, don't help the Democrats while Obamacare is sinking. The Website sucks and soon enough the American people will figure out what a turd Obamacare is upon the Economy. With the Website stinking to high heaven and even liberals like Jon Stewart calling it a turd, the young - who are internet connected cannot help but notice. And when the young figure out how they are being screwed by Obamacare, they will turn upon the Democrats and Progressives in both parties in droves. When the young find out about the 29 1/2 work week Obamacare is imposing on the American...
  • Software Expert Slams Healthcare.Gov On MSNBC: ‘This Really Shouldn’t Be That Difficult’

    "I don't know why they made it so complicated. This really shouldn't be that difficult. This is the automation of a paper form onto a website and then it's supposed to do some look-ups to calculate subsidies. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't provide health care. It doesn't even provide insurance. It's applying for something." Later, Chung eviscerated CGI, the IT company hired by the government to develop healthcare.gov: “This was built, I think, by people who were never paid before to create software. I think they just got out of school or something. You know, these government...

    Buffett said that for him to have bought it for Berkshire would have saddled the next CEO (whoever that might be, taking office at an unknown date) with a metro newspaper that he or she possibly wouldn't want. And to buy it personally, he added, would have at his death burdened his three children -- Susie, Howard, and Peter Buffett -- with the same kind of complex considerations.

    Don't signup for Obamacare, don't even use the website or phone number - You'll Regret it. First, your painting a target on your back with the IRS.

Guess who will be watching you! Yes, the IRS. The IRS who Doesn't target tea parties, who doesn't audit people. Yeah Right; that IRS.

    A airman, leaving the air-force, attempted to signup for Obamacare. They asked for his Social Security Number and Birthdate (an ID Thieves Dream) on the website. But then it also asked for the complete bank Routing and Account number like at the bottom of a check (a real thieves dream). Luckily, he stopped just in time when he realized how vulnerable he would have been.

    From Silicon Valley to Wall Street, simplicity is the new watchword. Books with titles like "Simple: Conquering the Crisis of Complexity" and "The Laws of Simplicity" are must reading in boardrooms. Companies aim for the elegance of Apple's design and Google's search box. Then there's ObamaCare.

    Thanks to Obama and the Democrats (read Socialists) my cancer insurance is up 340% and the older I get, it will go up each year (was a fixed amount for everyone regardless of age before). My families healthcare premium went up 37%, but that's not the worst of it. Rather than having co-payments, now I have a deductible of $1901 before I see a dime of benefits. Thanks Obama for screwing my family over. We will let your, so called, Democratic Party (IE Socialist) exactly how we feel at the ballot box and every blog we know.

    We are being told about Obamacare "it is the law, we should accept it". So Americans are being told that they should accept the 29 1/2 work week, that small business should have no more than 49 employees and that many more will be without health insurance shortly. Indeed, many have received notices that there insurance is being terminated due to the Affordable Health Care Act. Many in small businesses are being laid off so that business can stay under the 50 employee rule. And a host of Americans have had their hours cut back to less than 30. Indeed...

    This surreptitious default move is one peg in the restoration of a more comfortable debt to GDP ratio. But the policy-driven move towards higher inflation will help devalue the outstanding real level of what are still huge liabilities. That is not price stability: it is more bad news for pensioners and those who live on fixed income investments...

    I miss America when men were supposed to be decent and good. I miss America when pregnant women were Not sent to the front lines in combat. I miss America when it tried to live within it's means and on a budget. I miss America when religion was considered to be good rather than to be suppressed. My children miss America, when school lunches were OK and they didn't consider it vomit and went hungry for lack of calories. They miss being told to consider things for themselves rather than being told by the government. My children will miss when...

    How did Obama blow it regarding Syria's chemical weapons? He opened his mouth. When Obama opened his mouth, the internet relayed his words to Syria and the Syrians have certainly moved them away from sight. Obama should not have said anything until he had approval from Congress if he was going to deal with them directly. Too late now, Obama blew it by opening his mouth.
